Meet the peopleFind your learning fit
Tell the school how you learn, when you can train and what you want to achieve. Ask about lesson preparation, feedback and continuity when an instructor is unavailable.
These dated, school-published stories show different chapters at ITP; they are not a live staff directory. Bryan and Emily were featured as instructors in 2026. Maverick and Chris are alumni. Ask the school who is currently teaching, where they train and which qualifications fit your goals.
Featured by ITP · April 2026
Bryan came to flying after eight years as a firefighter, with a family and a shift schedule to balance. In his own account, ITP helped him plan lessons around work, and instructors Kate and Blair combined patience with high standards. He progressed from student pilot to CFII and described the chance to teach at ITP as a way to give back. His path is his own—not a promised timeline for anyone else.

ITP’s March story describes Emily as a senior instructor working with co-owner Darren as he pursued his instrument rating. Their update highlights regular flights, deliberate approach practice and preparation. It is a snapshot of training in progress, not a claim that Darren had completed the rating or that Emily’s current schedule is available.
